Comments on: The Advancement Of NIck Foles Changes Things For Reid And Vick http://gcobb.com/2012/08/22/the-advancement-of-nick-foles-changes-things-for-reid-and-vick/ PhillySports24x7 | Eagles | Phillies | Sixers | Flyers | College Sun, 26 May 2013 06:14:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: ryclrk http://gcobb.com/2012/08/22/the-advancement-of-nick-foles-changes-things-for-reid-and-vick/comment-page-1/#comment-89603 ryclrk Sat, 25 Aug 2012 22:03:27 +0000 http://gcobb.com/?p=32627#comment-89603 Cobb is here perpetuating the myth of Reid as knowing QBs, and cites Kolb and Feeley as examples. “You cannot be serious.” Kolb, Feeley, Detmer, Kafka were all drafted by Reid and are all lifetime second- and third-stringers. Reid also brought on Jeff Blake and Mike McMahon—totally forgettable. Last year he brought in Vince Young—how did that work out? (And Trent Edwards was available!) I’ll give him credit for Vick, who is a star but not someone who can take a team deep into the season let alone playoffs, and Garcia, who played just a few games for the Eagles. So when you come down to it, McNabb is the only top tier QB Reid has drafted and who has played significant time under him. No one knows that Reid developed McNabb; he might have evolved exactly the same way under other coaches. He was old and washed up when he left the Eagles, so his later record proves nothing. As for Foles, he does look like a good one. My conclusion is that Reid got lucky drafting McNabb because most of the time he cannot tell a good QB from a severely limited one.

He was the best QB in Eagles history, but he has no business coming back here.

1) he wouldn’t want to be a back-up, so forget that
2) what about his play in the last couple of years makes you think that he would be ready to play?
3) How can you say that he develops young players? What proof do you have of that? The reports out of Minny and Wash is that he wasn’t training hard any more and that he didn’t know the playbook. Sounds like a great mentor to me.

Songs- you continue to be the troll of this site. Congrats on continuosly spouting nonsense to get everyone fired up.

Too many eagles Fans constantly live in the Past
.. Bring McNabb back, Bring Dawkins Back, Bring John Runyan back, Bring Albert Haynesworth in , Bring Randy Moss in, Bring in Plaxico Burress in, Bring Westbrook Back.. Football is like Time, and it keeps moving on and 2-3 years of being out of the sport or barely playing is a lifetime as far as Football in concerned, be happy the Eagles had some good players in years past..2012 Team is about the here and now and getting a old washed up back-up does not help this Team out at all.. If Vick gets hurt and misses 2-3-4 ganmes, then Foles steps in to replace and if nothing else, this helps FOles for the Future.. Right now the Eagles are probably a 6th-8th Place Team in the NFC and that’s with a healthy Vick at QB

If the season plays out as I expect Nick will start as many games as Vick, and we will be developing a new starter.

It’s the same $#!T that went on with Burress & Fat Albert last year. He was done 3 years ago, why the hell would you want to bring him in now. Isn’t the object to get better & move forward? He’s SO great, that’s why teams are lining up to sign him, in a QB starved league, RIGHT? Cut it the f^#@ out. He’s cooked, & WILL NOT BE BACK HERE!
